    I never got charged for TM2 Megatron, so I have no idea if they will give me credit for him.
    He's weirdly late though, despite being in stock in America for ages.

    But with him being in a refresh assortment I think they will be plentiful I think I might ask them later and see if they will give me a credit too.
    though I might not spend it right away... and instead save it for the next capsule line if I get anywhere with them that is.

    Doesn't hurt to ask though.

    Amazon UK have always been skeevy. When they first opened they would not publish negative reviews. Flat out negative reviews didn't go up and more ranged reviews simply had the negatives cut out.

    I just ordered a pack of Duracell Batteries on Amazon, I give it a better than 50% chance that they will be Knock Off Batteries even if shipped from Amazon.

    If the seller is Amazon, they'll be legit. If not, then toss a coin!

    Earthspark 1 steps in Andover Tesco. Must be the first TFs they've stocked since the Bumblebee film.

    I know around Christmas Tesco's toy stock was taken over by The Entertainer. One I work at lost some lines and gained others. Case in point we'd just started getting in Jakks Pacific Sonic game toys. Entertainer instead had us selling wave 2 Sonic movie toys.

    I heard the knockoff stuff gets mixed in with the official stuff so the pickers don’t actually know - but that is hearsay!

    Yes I bought Elita One in Toymaster, she is kinda terrible unfortunately, another one of those badly designed toys that gets in theiir own way when transforming.

    Legacy Evolution deluxes (less one Scrapheap) all present in Basingstoke Smyth's. Didn't see any of the voyagers.

    Much reduced shelf space though, sharing shelves with Sonic and Crash Bandicoot (!).

    Better served than Marvel Legends mind you, literally 3 figures left and no obvious space for incoming arrivals.

    Generally, I was really surprised by how much space was given over to Jurassic Park stuff. Nearly as much as the wrestling figures.

    That’s true in my experience of buying microSD cards from Amazon. Even directly from Amazon you’ve got a chance of getting a bootleg. Avoid them for certain items.

    part of me still has a bit of a doubt that it will be the figure it says and could turn up as anyone but i will find out and report back ;) 

    Funny thing is the order history calls him Owen.

    So that Prime = Mark, Megatron = Owen....

    What will the others be called!!! lol

    He is here!

    Plus a bonus for those who already bought the Shockwave dx in the cyberverse wave you dont actually need it to complete the BAF, as its an optional robot arm, megs already came with the human one
